Characterization of 7-km Few-Mode Fiber using Optical Vector Network Analyzer with Faraday Mirror-Enhanced Reference
We demonstrate broadband characterization of 7-km elliptical-core few-mode fiber using an optical vector network analyzer optimized with a Faraday mirror. We show mitigation of polarization-induced fading, enabling accurate measurements of mode-dependent loss and insertion loss.
